There are three favorable days each month, called foundation days, power days, and

days, and enemy days. In general, it is advised to begin things and take care of impor-

tant business on the favorable days, and avoid such enterprises on the unfavorable

days. The numbers in this table refer to the lunar days of the month for each sign.

According to Reynolds in his Calendar,“When the monthly and weekly cycles

oppose each other on the same day, the former is the more powerful due to the plane-

tary energies, but nonetheless, they act together. If, during the monthly cycle, oppos-

ing forces manifest on the same lunar day, these two complement each other.”

Lunar days 1, 2, 26: Good for making offerings, requests of high person-

ages, taking vows, religious practices, and, in general, the obtaining of

something desired.

Lunar days 3, 11, 20, 23: Excellent days for strong, firm actions; good

for beginning construction or obtaining high offices.

Lunar days 4, 13, 16, 25: Days of quickness, clarity, skill, and clever-

ness; indicative of success in competitions.

Lunar days 5, 8, 17, 18: Very bad reaction days; unethical activities will

succeed, moral action will not.

Lunar days 1, 9, 10, 19, 24: Generally good for activities such as mar-

riages, large purchases, collections, teaching, initiation, blessings,

building, and ceremonies in general.

Lunar days 2, 15: Barren. Many events will not occur. Neither good or

bad for building, meditation practice, and certain ceremonies. Nothing

should be undertaken between midnight and 3 A.M.
